I can't give a lot of details without outing some folks, but one of the mods, Mercedes, got really power hungry and started making changes about things that folks liked- like removing reactions, being aggressive about even the slightest OT thread of conversation, and getting testy if anyone spoke up about how she was being heavy handed and overreactive.
Someone in the chat actually mentioned that it would be nice if the admins made the change logs visible to the chat, so everyone could see what changes were made, for transparency... and then they went quiet- and it turns out they'd been muted. Couldn't talk, couldn't see chat. So they left, and KyraG actually got MAD at them for leaving instead of talking to her (even though finding her on discord is a pain in the ass bc she uses weird ass emoji in her handle)
Then, Mercedes and another mod- Nukleer, IIRC got nasty to another person over a discussion about folks using the term queer. (The person said "Idc if you use the term, just don't use it for me, it was used as a slur against me and I don't like it" and Nukleer kept using it for them.)
And then on top of that, when there were new leaders for dom efforts and raffles, they got mad when they asked for flight support on providing funds/raffle items- the person had just taken over, and they said "you should have been prepared when you took over" (This is a loose summary, I wasn't actually in Plague's discord when this happened, because I left after Nukleer's bullshit.)
